Democratic divisions on Israel on full display ahead of Netanyahu visit

As Vice President Kamala Harris has pledged to do everything in her power to unite her party after President Joe Biden bowed out of the 2024 presidential race, Netanyahu’s visit could further expose the cracks as a number of Democrats in both the House and Senate have announced they will boycott the speech or could even cause disruptions in the House Chamber.
